Send a Letter to the Editor to speak up for hungry families!

We need our elected leaders to prioritize the nutrition needs of our families. They must guarantee that anyone who needs nutrition assistance is able to access it and increase SNAP (food stamp) benefits to better serve struggling families. Congress is about to enter tough negotiations on the next COVID-19 relief bill. The House of Representatives have passed their bill, but Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and his allies have come straight out and said multiple times that they don’t want to boost SNAP in any way.

We want to raise the profile of this issue by placing Letters to the Editor in local papers around the country so Congress feels pressured to take action as soon as possible!

***Send a letter to your local paper calling on Congress to boost nutrition assistance and SNAP in their next COVID-19 relief package!

Here’s how to send your letter:

1) Fill in your name and contact information on this page in the form and click NEXT. Important note: We ask for your phone number because papers require this info with all letters, but your phone will NOT be published or shared!

2) When you get to the next screen, choose a newspaper for your letter—and then click on the Sample, Letter, and Talking Points buttons to write your letter. If you want to use part, or all of that sample letter, just copy and paste the text into the small empty box to the right on that page. It's easy!
